The new gnome-contacts application has been packaged and is available in F16, including the gnome-online-accounts infrastructure.
GNOME components have been updated to final 3.2.0 release. All of the planned GNOME 3.2 features are included in this release.

After the major update in Fedora 15, the GNOME desktop returns to its usual
model of evolutionary refinements:

System Settings will gain an "Online Accounts" panel, which provides a central point for managing online accounts like Google, Facebook etc. Setting up e.g. a Google account in this panel will make gmail, contacts and calendar in evolution work out of the box, the gnome-shell calendar will be populated as well, and empathy will have gtalk set up automatically. Here is an early screenshot.

Contacts is a new contact management application integrating with Empathy, Evolution and the new "Online Accounts" settings panel. Alex has written about it here.

Documents is a new document management application, which provides a simpler alternative to traditional file management for both local and "in-cloud" documents

Quick File Previews provide a way to quickly view different kind of files in nautilus. Cosimo has a screenshot.

More components will be updated to integrate better with GNOME Shell:

The Login Screen will receive a visual overhaul to match the overall desktop theme

NetworkManager will use GNOME Shell's system dialogs for authentification

Much better integration of empathy / telepathy for chat

Contacts can be searched in the shell overview search

Color management will for monitors, printers, scanners and similar devices will gain its own, dedicated control-center panel

Verify that notification appear above the on-screen keyboard, when it is visible

Test that it is possible to enter 'normal' characters, numbers, 'special' characters such as @ { } % and accented characters using the on-screen keyboard. Accented characters are entered using 'long presses' which bring up a secondary popup.

Test that shift and modifiers work in the on-screen keyboard

While interacting with the on-screen keyboard, pay attention to how it interacts with other gnome-shell features, such as the message tray.

Verify that the GNOME shell calendar is populated from your Google calendar.

Verify that your Google contacts show up in gnome-contacts

Verify that empathy has Gtalk set up and ready to use

Verify that the credentials for using these Google services are shared across the various programs: after you logged in once, you should not be asked again for your credentials, unless you explicitly logged out

Verify that turning off e.g. mail in the online accounts panel, evolution will no longer show your Google mail

The integration of Online Accounts/Documents should bring the user experience of the desktop closer to the web. Ongoing integration with GNOME Shell increases the general polish of the desktop. The GDM login screen will appear in the GNOME 3 style.
